the, the, the, a presidential welcome home. lot of the put in grades a to russian citizens following up present exchange between moscow underwent a wall street journal report i have on guest corvettes and the us marine followed women who were opposed to convicted of spying and rush hour among those musket release. the next street and people in these role are also demanding a swab deal of their own type, calling for their government to sit down with him on the order to negotiate the release of the remaining of hostages. the whether it is our team to national reaching you would lie from our new center in

moscow. i a michael question. now i top story this, i'll of lot of it put it and it has greeted 10 russian citizens, including to mind us as they arrived back home in russia. it followed the president swap deal with the west of the president handed flawless to on. i did sylva and her daughter and congratulated old russian nationals on their return home. but in fact, those who had connections to the ministry for their loyalty and duty to the home that of a chase of the rocks and the foreign intelligence service and the federal security service, along with the defense minister, what also the president of the russian and the security service has released footage showing a 10 russian citizens board, the boarding, a plane in on colorado. and that's where the exchange took place. or the deal was broken by nate to my bank to key a following in tens negotiations. so that's what this is also being released is

showing the western citizens being taken to the plane that would apply them to the key if it was swapped for a 10 russian civilians including a 2 minus i was thinking of from the white house, have a us president gave his reaction to the prison. this was due by the and the underlined to the role of a nato allies say the negotiation process. it is still not been made possible without our allies. german poll, slovenia, norway, and turkey. they all stepped up and they stood with us. the deal that made this possible was afraid of diplomacy and friendship. the us president spoke to the press, surrounded by family members of those who had been detained and are being released in, in his remarks. he was harshly critical of the russian government as usual, but many of noted that in addition to giving credit to other countries that were

involved in the negotiating process and grand standing against russia in his remarks, there was a large amount of self congratulation. and that was echoed later when the white house press secretary describe the deal as well. they continued to emphasize how important joe biden is in making this prisoner exchange, the largest per largest prisoner exchange. since the cold war happened, they very much wanted to emphasize that binding was essential in the process. here's what we heard from biden, as well as the white house press secretary. as of today, my business, i just brought them over. 70 americans were wrongfully detained. how hot is abroad? the president was himself personally engaged in the pharmacy, the process of many since before i took office, i would say that if you had not had your mind sitting in the oval office, i don't think this would have happened edition, i assure the executive order 2020 to authorize the penalties like sanctions and

travel bands and those who hold americans against their will. now it's important to note that the defensive tone of the white house seems to come on the backs of what many of noted, which is the joe biden is not running for re election in the coming race. in november i, he recently announced he was withdrawing and complet harris. his vice president will be the candidate of the democrat party now uh at this point. uh, its also of noting that well in biden's remarks, he did hand that there was a slight improvement in relations with russia as a result of the prisoner exchange. uh, when he was asked by a reporter, if he would speak to the russian president, he gave a pretty solid no, ah, so there will not be communication between the president of the united states and the president of russia. now my colleagues, charlotte dimansky discussed the details on who was on the present exchange list. with all correspondent steve sweeney. of speculation was rise early on thursday

morning about this potential must present as well between the russian federation, the united states, batteries, germany and other european nations. now one, as we soon discovered it was one of around 6 russian government planes that did take off. we spent most of the day kind of tracking those to see that whereabouts. of course, there was a lot of speculation across by russian media and american media, cbs, the american media media route. but when it reported that i do have been struck by the, this was according to a senior by an administration official. now of course we had the confirmation from to a case intelligence in a, in turkey dots. and could i have mediated this data. now they've released this list of $24.00 prisoners that have been exchanged as believe to be $26.00 info to the biggest prisoner exchange since the end of the cold hole. now we have some of those

names confirmed. now we can talk about some of the, i guess the most prominent or holly profile of those names, top of the list. of course, the wall street journal report to evan goose givers. now he was recently jail for 16 years on espionage charges. he came into the country, he was gathering information about the wagner private minutes. he company, but he was caught by russian security services. he was caught red handed. they say with irrefutable evidence that he was gathering information military information that could be useful to the west of the united states. and that he was preparing to hand this information over to the c i. he of course became a cool celebre in the west. his detention was seen as an upfront to journalism on a front to a news gathering many of the many of these western government sons dirt. and this, of course, from countries that were behind the detention on the expedition with

a planned expedition of the, with the big founded judy in the songs about whom they remains incredibly at sight . and now moscow has a game reiterated that it has incredibly strong evidence that goes could, which was in fact, spying talk a call soon. the conservative bull costa in his interview with not in a position where he confronted him directly on ghost, which is case and said would rush. i'd be willing to release him as a gesture of goodwill and punching replied inside. well, he's always open to this kind of thing, but it hadn't been reciprocated by the west. and he said, well, of course, he would be happy to discuss the possibility of a prisoner exchange. but this needed some degree of flexibility from western intelligence. another of the high profile names on the list, of course, is poor reading the full, the us marine, a former us police officer. he again had a very check of history in his own country. he was found guilty of embezzlement

when he was a member of the united states armed forces. he suddenly develop this very keen interest in russia. he started learning the russian language. he was communicating with the russian citizens over social media. he came to the country in 2006 report to be to attend the wedding of a friend again. 2 he was here for a while and he was accosted, he was arrested and found him in his possession, according to russia were state secret, so he was imprisoned on espionage charges. he's a guy and he's on this list released by the television intelligence service. and of course, the german national rico kreger and his name again is on this list of people that are now confirmed by turkish intelligence to have been part of the prison exchange deal, where he was in the u. s. embassy in berlin. often leaving that post, he decided he was going to go to ukraine on a humanitarian mission,

as so many as him do, but he soon became quotes up in combat operations. one of his missions was to fight to go off batteries in military installations and he was cold and arrested in the batteries and kept 2 minutes. he had a rough side load rucksack loaded with explosives, which was due to be used on that countries. royal network, he was sentenced to death for medicine reactive with ease, but he was recently posted by the by the resume president. yeah, an interesting you going through the list of details that we've had. so in the fall, this to minus who are all one of those planes coming back to russia? i think that suggests that a russian couple from slovenia amongst those being released from the russian side to come back home. yes. well, now all to them on, on those have the, this is a couple that were detained on espionage charges in slovenia, of all places. now, according to the neighbors, they had been a fairly old and we couple, they were living that with the children they were living at old me,

middle cost life in, uh, sup, it'd be in slovenia, they have a number of companies i t company and all company and all the business organizations, but this would be no, socrates said that these with friends for russian spying operations, they were arrested that was sentenced to just on the 2 years in prison on charges of spying, the other charges against them, which would have time even a year sentence if they were indeed found guilty, they are not included on this this and of course along with the children of him cross equals now he is a game. he was one of the names that was really meant to be pump this prison exchange. and he's a paid on this list of people that being confirmed to be on that for his new exchange. this he is an f. s. be agent. he was caught in russia back in 2019 and he was charged with kidding. a georgia national who is believed to be a checked and set protest, and he was a sentence to la is imprisoned by let's cross live now

to our chief political correspondent and you go up. it's going to have who is that the moscow's of no call the airport where the 10 russian civilians punch down in the last hour. you guys get to have you join me as we saw the was a full presidential. welcome home for those involved in this present us. what did you take us through the details? right. what we're here at, even look at what to governments, the airport and your moscow, where the plane would be changed individuals when a just a short while ago, 10 russian citizens, 8 adults, and 2 children, were personally greeted by president vladimir important, accompanied by the head. also rushed as for an intelligence service. they were coming back from turkey where the change took place earlier on thursday. and they were coming back from a whole list of western countries, including germany in the united states as sonya phones, nor wayne and lavinia. and they were exchanged for 14 individuals who now been

released to west. i think that this the large of change and versus security services say that the preparations for it had been continuing for a few years. this exchange really shows that despite the current crisis in the relationship between russia and the west to certain communities, some channels, perhaps even the most important ones really do remain open or wide was set to lead. keep in touch to know how the thing is playing out. thank you so much. i'll call this a golf course, but and hugo is good enough for all the details that now see the editor at issue inside john coverage. i believe that such exchanges provide a window of opportunity over all the issues. i would say it's probably less sending the chills than about warming, but it is an opportunity. and you know,

primarily because you've had 7 governments do something that they didn't want to do . so that's always productive. and when governments will then respond that, nothing is link that, you know, this is isolated. it's not linked to ukraine. it's not linked to, to any other issue. of course it is because it allows for another avenue of discussions. so it's a good day when 7 governments do what they don't want to do when each of those governments good good headlines, governments like good headlines and they want more. so this does provide an opening slide. but it does provide an opening for discussions with respect to other issues . there's no question that or from my perspective and president clinton has made his decision. and his decision is that he prefers the predictability of

what would come with a harris administration. then the unpredictability that would come from a 2nd, trump administration. and you know, primarily when you, when you look at that, the president pollutant could have easily waited less than a 100 days to make this deal happen. president pohden, you know, made a calculated decision and, you know, for vice president harris, this is a really good day for a former president, trump know he's going to be angry. who's going to say it's a week deal? you know, that's because that's why they made the deal because present important didn't want to negotiate with the, with the 2nd term president trump, it you, it's really going to, to fall on on the lot of death years because the bottom line is this is one less item on the list of unpleasant items relating to the us and russia

and to the middle east. now people in tel aviv are on the streets this evening demanding the eas, ready government, make a deal with him, us at to bring the remaining a hostages home from guys that are to contribute to rugby by mad brings us the details. hi me is me, is rarely carry out, which is kind of like the pentagon for as well. the idea is paid here and up for thousands at the end of the process. there were thousands of people marching through the street as we can see the screen. now, raw sewage deal, now some people weeping and screaming and crying, and some people are angry for 3 or 300 days. it's just too long. do you see the thing? we are getting very close to 365. so these people are very upset and they want a deal to happen. they want it sooner rather than later. this is the hostage for 3 other days. this is very nice. people

go direct across, reach human rights. why do we have going on here? now? are people who are very angry and they want a deal, but most of the country is very concerned about what's going on. i mean, there are 12 navy army carriers, swelled maybe, except for american ships around the reason to protect it as well. in case of an attack was increasing section 11 on this real. you're ogden 0 people for a. let's hear what prime minister being that 3 all have to say about the situation . is that and said the israel is in the space is very high readiness. but any scenario on by defense and offense, we will extract to very high price. but any ex regression of getting stuff from any quotes whatsoever. so after we eliminated the has block chief of stop yesterday.

today came the final verification of the elimination of the how much chief of stuff, how many df his elimination establishes the simple principle, the waste stablished. so we have a 100 sauce. we had them both, such as the mission of sending while israel definitely feels justified necessitating some members wherever they may be, the other side of the finders lot. and there's a lot ahead of it, but the throw off. there's no blame, even if you all are basically letting the dog give or lose. let's hear what he has to say. is that going to me to do? i will say that the enemy and those who support the enemy have to expect our response for our response will come for sure. this is a historical battle, and today we say to design is that if you want to finish us through killing our leaders and scaring our people and killing women and children, good man, if you want us to surrender to be weaker, you are wrong. this will not happen as our ladies a knob has said, whatever you do,

but whatever efforts you make, nothing yahoo and all of the americans, whether it's biden or harris or trump, they're all the same. it doesn't matter what, whatever you do, and the efforts you make, you will not erase us. you will not kill our resilience and our spirit. if you are planning to finish us, this will not work. this you server entity is going to be finished because the people of god will when they both be old at ward is them and angel operatively are screaming just say their families. most of the people in the country unfortunately are ready for their own lives. they feel worse domain, i used to be one of them. let's see where they have to say. and one is a bit anxious. sometimes it would be some kind of what

we used to does is or wrapping it up in or out here every night. and the crowds get bigger and bigger. angry and angry or something's going to happen is going to happen until whether it's good or bad. i don't know, time will show and while we're here, a voice is from these are all demanding the return of the hostages. lead us from around the world have been expressing their condolences for the deceased political director of the mass. but the us social media jive method has been accused of attempting to silence them. my leisure as a prime minister says that the company which cannot. ready facebook and instagram is subbing as a tool of useful and that's author dd that has posted by the death of these. my idea, the matter has once again acted rudely and has insulted the cause of the palestinian people. when i uploaded a video message with condolence and criticism of the killing of the late smiled hun

yeah, it doesn't make sense when a tribute to a fighter who tried to free his homeland from tyranny and suffering is considered dangerous. my stern warning to mete don't be a bastard and a tool of the tyrannical zionist, as rarely regime meta did it. again. the company took down a video message shared by a malaysian prime minister on what you brought him, where he condemned and the strongest possible terms, the assassination of is smart l, how the, the political view, or chairman of the how most resistance move met. manse, all labeled the post as support for people and organizations that had been defined as dangerous in the west. it looks like you shed or send symbols, praise or supports of people, and organizations that we define is dangerous, will follow them. this goes against all community standards on dangerous individuals, organizations, and this is not the 1st time it happened in may. facebook had also removed several

posts related to media reports of armoires, publicized meeting with the homeless chief hernia in katara. and he is not the only one who is outreach by this. the malaysian prime minister's office media and strategic communications division also shared their concerns on facebook. they demanded an explanation as urge met tons to issue an apology. they called the action discrimination against palestinians. the media and strategic communications division of the prime minister's office has condemned metro's actions regarding photos on instagram, showing the meeting of prime minister. and while the abraham, with the leader of her mos in doha could talk. aust, may this action clearly shows discrimination against the situation in palestine and the country's leaders accordingly, all side demands an explanation regarding this matter and urges matter to apologize

. the leisure has lost as located for a 2 state solution to the conflict between israel and the palestinians. the support is also running high among civil society. collisions have been speaking out and rallying inside dara t with palestine gatherings has been held to protest against is are always vitality in gaza. and they have been attended by up to thousands of people the we requested that maps out comment on the emerging scandal. and as malaysia is not the only countries that expressed condo lenses over hon. yes, staff. the question is, why or western tech be humorous? trying to silence those voices. how are they going to pull reporting for r t from jakarta?

and to africa. now, 5 people had been killed in a drug and attack on an army b as in war to, on sudan, while they handled the transitional government to us in the area. the. all right, so i have part of military which is fighting against the state has denied responsibility for the attack. and the following day incident, the government's lead rejected sci fi tools plans to take place in switzerland. we will not lay down our guns until the country is cleansed of any rebel or mercenary, and we will not accept negotiations that undermined the dignity of our people. the battle with the enemy continues and we will not retreat or surrender. and we will not negotiate with any party, no matter who it is. the army lead of stones came as he survived him association and came to that took place during a graduation ceremony that he was attending in the east to aust. done. those that were present at the ceremony say close to the conclusion of the whole gathering an

array of suicide drove is attacked to the ceremony. 2 of the dogs managed to strike in the center of the gatherings, but han was able to escape and scabbard how if 5 people, as you have mentioned, what he owed, by the impact of those 2 drugs. the strike is the closest, is the closest such an attack has come to pulse adonis, since the will began in april of 2023. the attack has yet to be claimed properly by any group. and to all me. sources have also stated that to the not to search and who exactly is responsible for this attack and the rapid support forces which has been engaged in heavy fi too. with this, the don armed forces that have not the least um claimed some sort of responsibility as you've mentioned. and we also know that to all the positions i will sweep across 2 dogs. i've come and repeated

a tax. the plane on the i received. we know that the warring sites have been planning to engage in these piece talks in switzerland. do we understand this recent attack is apparently sort of really ruined those plans. do you think they could be any pro quest for negotiations at this time given uh the sentiment? so a hearing coming out posted on right now. well, at this moment it seems very unlikely because the strike comes off to the government condition of the accepted an invitation to attend the peace talks in switzerland on the 14th of this month. the talk so would have been the 1st mesa, if it's in months to get to the army and to the i receive to sit together in one place. but the need to stay to that to the student needs on forces with not to be negotiating with the i received for putting it in to piece talks that had only recently started also. but with that, to be honest, if accepted the invitation very soon,

all said was proposed the saying that it was the paul to most concerned with the, with saving the lives and the dignity off of the studies. people sold it to operate in the entity, the aims that to do so that's we're ready to engage in these tools constructively and look forward to them being a significant step towards piece stability and the establishment of a new suit in the state based on justice. the quality and federal governance. we affirm a commitment to all people in the international community to participate in the talks on august 14th in switzerland. but efforts by many countries to push for is these via and it in the, to the will have proven all, most inadequate talks last year, for example, between the 2 sides, broken by saudi arabia and the united states failed to even reduce the slicing ads . the recent attempts to revive those tools to breaking down in need soon, even this yeah, age of hosted support is off both the the forces and chiral for negotiations. the

only outcome from that was the creation off a subcommittee to, to austin agreement, which was meaningless because it was a visually violated even to you in hosted in direct peace talks between the parties of the 2 sides could not even meet face to face if only meeting with the you in secret key generals, personal info, just to don, seen how these if it's in the the conflict is done have intensified but so far last thing ceasefire has remained elusive. even the sudanese, consider the tools in switzerland as the best opportunity to negotiate and into the war. because families are displaced to multiple times of war. uh, following hawks on the hills, food aid forwarding desperately sold on what's needed communitarian aid, intercepted by soldiers and other. * groups before it can even reach the intended

recipients, even crop production capacity is being sabotaged during a hung like emergency not to mention the violations committed against children, even the you in itself saying that they've never seen or verified so many violations against children as they did for the period of 20222023. and as we speak, tales of thousands of people after the children, millions as i mentioned before to to see the homes making. so the country with the largest displace population in the world and humanitarian groups continue to say that both of these parties have committed abuses a submit a multiple cries. but that is the update this thomas to you again little more stories of the top of the of

the joseph comrade ro, hall of darkness at the height of units colonial scramble fast it's about the search for a mysterious white trader. old mister cups is become a monster's killer. cut symbolizes a type of savagery at the hall of western civilization. the shops of african heads for fun. the 1st read joseph conventional was studying at oxford university. i thought cook was just an operation. a twisted fantasy of comrades imagination. he had summed up, he had judged the hard i didn't really get it. but the more i learned about

colonialism, the more i realized it always started with men like cuts and that sex link to this day. then i made a discovery that changed everything for me. at the same time that comrade was writing his book, life was imitating odd in an astounding way. a french army officer was leading an invasion of west africa. and his true story was even more terrifying than columbus fiction. i begun to put on a journey across space time in search of this real the job to read. so i can move in both of my parents come from.
